The popularity of voluntary benefit offerings continued to grow this year as employers seek solutions for employees strapped by rising healthcare costs and, especially this year, increased financial burdens.
Earlier this year, an EBA survey about voluntary benefits asked benefit advisers to identify the voluntary products most coveted by their client base, and traditional voluntary benefits fared well, with 81% saying dental benefits are in high demand, 59% saying vision is and nearly half (49%) saying short-term disability is in high demand by employers.
